The Truth About Pressing the Pedestrian Button Multiple Times
A TikTok user known as the Traffic Light Doctor explains in a viral video that pressing the pedestrian button multiple times does not make the crosswalk light change any faster. The button sends a signal to the system, which will note the call until the light changes, regardless of how many times it is pressed. While this is true for some systems, there are variations in different areas where the buttons serve different purposes, such as assisting people with disabilities or enhancing pedestrian safety. The Traffic Light Doctor suggests incorporating advanced sensors and adaptive algorithms to improve crosswalk systems and promote safe interactions between pedestrians and drivers.
